Ambien and Gilotrif drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ambien (zolpidem tartrate) and Gilotrif (afatinib dimaleate). Common drug interactions include diarrhoea among females and rash among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ambien and Gilotrif. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
